I’m into the Morning Edition part of my NPR book now. The show debuted in 1979, and I’m at the part around the beginning of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Reading this book and familiarizing myself with the shows and personalities of NPR takes me back to my senior year of high school.

My Visit to the Westmoreland Sleep Center!
On Thursday, I had an appointment at the Westmoreland Sleep Center. I was referred to them by the kidney doctor whom I visited the week prior.

After the Storm
The snow on the ground is melting as the sun shines on this cold mid-December day. Tuesday was nice compared to the cold, snowy weekend we just had. Pittsburgh received seven inches of snow from Saturday’s storm. After the snow ended, we dealt with two days of bitter cold temperatures. It wasn’t even worth goingContinue reading “After the Storm”
A Cold Weekend Ahead!
Recently, a content creator I have followed over the years celebrated another year on YouTube. Jesse Ridgway (also known as McJuggernuggets) started his channel in December of 2006. I was a year out of college at the time and trying to decide what to do with my life. This 14 year old from New JerseyContinue reading “A Cold Weekend Ahead!”
